Caye Bokel
Why dive here
With 210+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Caye Bokel offers some of Utila's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Caye Bokel often gets overlooked for Utila’s more famous northern sites, but we always enjoy a visit here. Dropping down to about 18 meters, you’ll find some really solid hard coral formations, a nice change from the soft corals that dominate elsewhere. The fish biomass tends to be a bit higher on Utila’s southern sites, and Caye Bokel is no exception – expect to see plenty of schooling fish darting among the reef. It’s generally a pretty relaxed dive, a good option if you’re looking for something calm with some good reef structure to explore.
